Why use FRP Rebar in Precast Tunnel Segments
The precast tunnel segments are considered to be one of the most challenging projects in the field of structural engineering in terms of durability. It is important to consider several factors when evaluating the success of this kind of project including the aggressivity of soils, significant temperature fluctuations, as well as environmental obstacles (such as the collection of waste water that could impact the tunnel’s integrity). This is where the implementation of FRP rebar comes in as an innovative solution to these problems. Glass FRP (GFRP) reinforcing bars have recently gained wide acceptance as a viable construction material for sustainable…
